ok and only because of the room will never stay here again unless property did something to right their wrong doing and
Pros:

The room was comfortable and decent

Cons:

Staff extremely rude, very unhelpful and zero people skills and personality, during check out we were running behind staff entered room while I was still in the shower extremely unprofessional and sign was on the door that said do not disturb. And the resort fee is ridiculous more expensive than a really nice Las Vegas resort. Upcharge upon check- in as well.
